I VIit •«; M AIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY. JUNE 4,1980 (Continued from page 1) REINSTATE LIFEGUARD SALARIES I he pool, to be built in the future. Alderman Pepping said, "I think the lifeguard rate is fairly well established and I don't think we should make exceptions because the salaries were based on the type of work the people do." Pepping said he would consider offering the lifeguards an opportunity to do other work in the City. Alderman Wieser took a different view saying, "I think we've got to be about the cheapest Council on record. I would think that we'd want quality people whn may have to save a life and I would think that we could afford $.45 an hour more." Wieser suggested that a new rate structure could be put into effect when the pool js built. The Council unanimously approved the salary. (Continued from page 1) VILLAGE-CITY ENTANGLEMENT IN SEWAGE PLAN (which now has satisfactory septic systems). To meet federal regulations the planners would have to define* their ultimate service area. Heck said the scope of the plan­ ning would consider the 25 year needs of the village and service area to the year 2005. Stanek noted later that McHenry could consider a multi-stage plant. Heck briefly outlined the proposed McHenry Shores service area as extending westward from the river halfway between Idyl Dell road and the township line to the railroad track south to the south line of Sections 10, 11 and 12, eastward to the river. Lines would also be indicated on the east side of the river to include East­ wood Manor and westward to the Crystal Lake blacktop. Service would also be of­ fered north into McHenry as far as the golf course. The collector system would only be for McHenry Shores, Heck said, and reassured the village board members that the dividing line between the two municipal ties for service and cost apportionment would be pounded out in meetings. Hecto reminded the board also that present federal regulations ^require public participation in the planning process. He said there would be many decisions to be made by the board and the committee which would have to represent many different areas and groups. The board would be ex­ pected to hold a number of hearings for the planning process because the EPA and grant officials would expect that any shooting of holes in the resulting plan would occur before it was final. It will also be necessary to appoint a "public participation coordinator'^ whose job would be to ensure publicizing of the planning and its results. Heck said McHenry Shores would need a letter from McHenry city ex­ pressing agreement for the Shores to act as the govern­ ment agency for planning. They would also have to agree with McHenry where the dividing line between the municipalities is for plan­ ning purposes. Heck noted that President Carter has recently frozen most grant funds, especially for sewage treatment plant projects, but noted the EPA had retained money from earlier projects that could cover the planning grant. He said the freeze could possibly be over by the November election. He urged the village board to resubmit its applicaton to NIPC (Northeast Illinois Planning commission) and to the state clearing house at Springfield for required comment and approval. Heck said the new ap­ plication would fit in with the "208" planning (clean water) recently completed nationwide. The proposed grant has $32,000 ceiling with the village getting up to $24,000 to be matched by I fi CHINA LIGHT RESTAURANT and LOUNGE (' < F> FEATURING: Flaming Pu-pu Piatt#r, sizzling War Bar and Canton*** St*ak Kow OPEN DAILY Chinese & American Cuisine Lounge & Carry out AMERICAN EXPRESS.

Village trustee Martin Koleno asked if the grant was for the village only and who pays for the treatment (at the new plant). Heck hastily assured the board that the present arrangements are for planning only and do no cover management func­ tions. This would have to be negotiated later. The board passed several enabling resolutions to get the grant application started. (Continued from page 1) MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' no pulse and he was not breathing. That was the unfortunate case when he was pulled from the water. But the lifeguard, with a knowledge of CPR, was able to restore breathing, and by the time the child arrived at the hospital the prospects for his recovery were much im­ proved. It was one of the miracles of modern medical knowledge that happen every day, and most of which we are never aware. On the other end of the spectrum was a holiday, devoted to saving some of God's helpless creatures, an effort that continued into the post-holiday work day. A staff member and her husband discovered 15 tiny ducklings wandering aimlessly in their Green street yard with no motherly direction. After getting advice on procedure from an expert, they managed to capture the wee ones in a box and started a vigil for the possible ap­ pearance of a wayward mom. The day passed, and as the couple became more ap­ prehensive about her return, thev set about an in­ vestigation. Not long after­ ward they found a duck lying dead in the road and had to assume mother had been hit by a car as she was leading her brood back to the river. A noisy, quacking night followed as one by one, the ducklings sought freedom from the box. And so it was with relief that sometime after the rising of the sun', the lady of the house was off for Moraine Hills State park with the healthy, young family. When she left, a park attendant was attempting to find a foster mother for a large number of dependent wildlife who were willing to settle for any protection and guidance afforded by a quack and a widespring wing. Because of the modern techniques of medicine, a boy lives who would have had little chance just a few years ago. And a family of ducklings, whose lives are also important to lovers of wildlife and others with humane instincts, may live to make their contribution to this increasingly urban area. KAF (Continued from page 1) ELLIS IS FOUND GUILTY arguments that not many of the facts of the case were in dispute. "Miller was killed by one shot from a handgun and Ellis told the police he shot Miller," Floro said. Floro pointed out that for the jury to find a verdict of guilty of murder, the state would have to establish intent - that Ellis meant to kill Miller, that Ellis knew his actions would kill Miller, or that Ellis knew there was a great probability that his actions would kill Miller. Floro summarized the incident saying that Ellis picked up Miller, a hit­ chhiker, and invited him home. He was a "strange houseguest," Floro said. "1 don't usually pick up hit­ chhikers and take them home with me." "They were arguing," the State's Attorney noted. "That's all they were doing." . "At 2 a.m. with no money and no place to go, Ellis told Miller to leave," Floro said. "Miller said no." "Ellis wanted him out and he wanted him put how," Floro told the jury. Miller was by his bed when Ellis made the conscious decision to get the gun, Floro added. "Just what is the business of * a gun," Floro asked, "especially a handgun." "The business of a gun like that is to kill - to kill peoplet" Floro pointed out that there was no "tatooing" (powder burns) on the body. "This is not consistent with Ellis' testimony that the gun went off while the two were struggling," Floro observed. "There had to be some distance bfetween the two when the gun went off." David Brundage, a forensic scientist with the Illinois Bureau of Law Enforcement, testified that a gun like Ellis' would leave powder burns if fired at less than three or four feet from the target. Floro said the jury would have to decide just who the aggressor was that night. "The first aggressive act was when Ellis went and got the gun. A gun is a pretty aggressive thing," Floro observed. "If Ellis felt threatened by Miller standing there and t a l k i n g , h o w e v e r irrationally, think of how Miller must have felt when Ellis went and got the gun," Floro said. Defense Attorney Kelly argued that the fact that Ellis sought help after the shooting was "not the act of someone who wanted to kill another." "It was the act of someone who is innocent, who wanted to tell the police his story," Kelly added. Kelly also argued that "a gun, in and of itself, is not deadly force. It is threatening the imminent use of force," he said. "Miller made the con­ scious decision to turn on Ellis, knowing that Ellis had a gun at his side, pointing at the ground," Kelly noted. Floro questioned whether Ellis was actually innocent or just covering up when he went to get help for Miller. "He had just shot a man," Floro said. "The man was bleeding on the floor. What are you going to do? You can't ignore it, it won't go away." After the verdict was announced, Floro asked that the recognizance bond be revoked and tljat Ellis be remanded to the custody of the Sheriff's department. Judge Cowlin asked if Attorney Kelly had any' objection to the motion. "What can I say, Judge?" Kelly replied. A hearing for post trial motions was set for June 25, 1980.
